Ingredients
- 2 large stalks Fresh sugarcane stalks
- 1 large Lemon
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Start by cleaning the sugarcane stalks. Use a knife or peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the sugarcane, revealing the inner flesh. Cut the sugarcane into 4-6 inch pieces for easy handling.
Step 2
Juice the sugarcane using a sugarcane juicer. If you do not have a sugarcane juicer, you can opt to use a heavy-duty blender, adding a small amount of water to help the blending process. Strain the blended mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice.
Step 3
Once you have the sugarcane juice, squeeze the juice of the lemon into the mixture to add a refreshing tang. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Add the mint leaves to the sugarcane juice. Lightly bruise the mint leaves before adding to release their aroma and flavor.
Step 5
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the prepared sugarcane juice over the ice. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Step 6
Serve immediately while chilled, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
